Hello, St. Clement parishioners & friends!

Thanks to all who supported the youth’s Valentine’s Day silent auction and dinner! It was a lovely and beautiful event!

Please welcome Rev. Rick LaBrecque, who will be with us this weekend to celebrate the Masses and tell us about the work of Unbound, a lay Catholic sponsorship ministry that helps children and elderly in 17 developing countries. To learn more, call (800) 875-6564 or visit Unbound online at www.unbound.org.

Alas, the frigid weather will once again foil the Knights’ pancake breakfast planned for this Sunday. The griddle will not work very well when it is this windy and cold outside, so the pancake breakfast has been postponed.

parent meetings for upcoming sacraments: mark your calendars!

Confirmation parent meeting Wed 19 Feb @ 6:30pm in the church sanctuary
First Communion parent meeting Sun 23 Feb @ 9:30am in the church sanctuary

Calvary Cemetery representative at Mass next weekend

Just as we celebrate the sacrament of Baptism in a church when we enter parish life, the burial rite celebrated in a Catholic cemetery completes that tradition. As Catholics, we believe in the dignity of each person, the importance of Baptism, the reality of the resurrection of Jesus, the promise of eternal life, and the celebration of the Eucharist as the great act of thanksgiving for redemption.

Located on consecrated land, Calvary Cemetery offers a place of quiet reflection. The cemetery is responsible for completing the sacred task of burial or entombment and respectfully maintaining the burial site for future generations.

When you choose a Catholic cemetery, you are laid to rest with people who share the same traditions and heritage. Moreover, giving your loved ones a proper burial is a corporal work of mercy and an act of love. James Aitchison, who works in preplanning and community outreach for our diocesan cemetery, will be visiting St. Clement the weekend of 22 & 23 Feb. He will have an information and education table. He can be reached at (626) 627-1318 (direct) or (918) 299-7348 (office).

The diocesan Faith & Works Appeal supports a wide range of ministries and services in the diocese:
